IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TIMES READERS The regular carrier boys of The Times are not permitted to sell pa pers to patrons.

There Is no desire to be arbitrary, but It Is absolutely neces sary to nave a tixeu system in a dally newspaper office and this is one of the features that must be ob served, i Threo papers a week purchased of boys would pay for practically the entire subscription and give readers a paper every day. Now is the time to subscribe. Police Inadequate to . Throngs at Bier of Dead Royalty. (By Associated Press.) LISBON, Fob. 10.

BALL GRAND SUCCESS Ladies of North Bend Uphold Their Reputation as En tertainers. Perhaps 'twas because It was in North Bend, where, as everyone knowSf they have an mexhaustlble supply of the "milk o' human kind ness;" then again, It may have been because of the novel and unusual rest which the gentlemen wero enjoying for the first time In four long years. Doubtless It was a dash of both coupled with tho most Important and potent cause of all tho ladles. Whatever the reason those who at tended the Leap Year ball given by the Women of Woodcraft, Saturday night, in North Bend, were treated to an evening, tho memories of which will still be green, when 1912 brings around another leap year and another ball. An easterner once said that tho trials of his. 4000 mile journey and the martyrdom of tho stage trip were all dissipated when he struck the hospitality of North Bend. That same hospitality which characterizes North Bend In business hours seems to concentrate and amplify at lfs so cial functions. Tho ball Saturday night was an exception in that the usual social hospitality seemed In tensified. The Coos Bay orchestra struck up tho grand march promptly at 9 o'clock and from that on to tho home waltz this premier of musical organi zations rendered its usual excellent selections. Not In every case did the males adjust themselves to tho new order of things Saturday night. Many a hand slid down to pocket and there was noted a sort of apologetic air on many a face on entering the hall, as though the owner would say, "Well I offered him tho money. It aint my fault that he didn't take it." It was nice to have tho ladles fill the programs. Nicer still when they came your way. You wondered when you spotted some fair ono across the hall if she knew you wero there; if she did, If she had seen you yet; If she had, If she was going to ask you for a dance. And, when, after what seemed an age, she finally turned round and sauntered leisurely across the hall, you marked out of tho cor ner of your eye that she seemed to be looking everywhere but In your direc tion. Then it was that your heart began to thump, thumped louder and louder until you wero In a sweaty agony of fear least your neighbor should hear it and penetrate the sham of Indifferent calm which disguis ed your Inward trepidation. What a feeling of joy when you heard, "Are your dances all taken?" Not In every case wero the males lionized. Many a drooping flower reposed against tho wall as tho dancers circled the hall., All wero bearded flowers too. Had tho "Man from Mars" dropped Into Eckhoff hall Saturday night ho would have, known without further question that It Is the leap year period on this planet. Tho ladles of Otlllla Circle No. 401, Women of Woodcraft, !- servo unstinted pralso and congratu lations for the excellent manner .. which they carried through th-sir , Leap Year ball Saturday night.

J COOS BAY DN M IP Dr. Mingus Notified That Regu lar Government Station Will Be Established. Coos Bay Is at last to have a regu lar Government Weather Bureau sta tion. In a letter to Dr. E. Mingus, the present voluntary local cooperat ive observer, District Forecaster Of ficial E. A. Beals, If Portland, says he has at last succeeded in getting tho bureau to mako an appropria tion for a station on Coos Bay. Mr. Beal says In his letter that ho ex pects to come to Coos Bay shortly to select a site and appoint an ob server and requests Dr. Mingus to make a recommendation of some trustworthy person if he cannot accept it himself. Tho compensation Is not large and but two reports are requ'red dally, ono at 5 a. m. and another at 5 p. m. At present the only stations on the coast between Portland and San Francisco aro Eureka and Tatoosh leaving a long stretch without a station. In commenting on the es tablishment of tho new station tho Portland Oregonlan says: "Tho shipping Interests of Coos Bay ports have developed to such an extent that the harbor has become one of the, shelter ports on the coast. The government has established buoys and aids to navigation." The new station will be valuable In advertising Coos Bay as Immedi ately after being established the name of this port will appear In all telegraph weather reports of the coast and all tho dally papers print ing a summary of the weather con ditions. Dr. Mingus has devoted so much time as a volunteer In tho cooperat ive branch of tho weather service and made his records so valuable because of their acuracy that It Is to be hoped ho may be prevailed up on to contlnuo as tho regular and first official observer on Coos Bay.
